You know when you’re younger and you drink water straight from a bottle, and your mom calls out, “Fill the bottle up again!”? When you’re small, you don’t get it. Why do you need to “fill it up” when you barely drank anything? You take your sip, shut the lid, and put the bottle…

Bihari people have the worst luck. They do the toughest jobs, keep the whole base of the economy running and still get insulted for it. Last time they went home for festivals and elections, ask anyone in manufacturing or construction how badly work slowed down from Tiruppur to…

What if AI could make every student a math achiever? Tonk, Rajasthan, proved it possible in just 6 weeks! In 2024, most Class 10 students in Tonk dreamed of science—but only 12% made it. Why? Poor math, teacher shortages, and big learning gaps. Determined to change this, IAS…

In most cities (other than Pune) people send a private message like this to people living on higher floors of the same building; “Please water your terrace plants carefully so it doesn’t spill down.” In Kothrud, though, it goes on a WA group of 80 members; “The 6th floor…

Devastated & heartbroken to mourn the passing of my dear St. Stephen's College classmate, the iconic adman Piyush Pandey. Before he gave a voice to modern India's brands, he was a Stephanian—full of life, laughter, and an earthy wit — and (as the pic below confirms) a pretty good…

Govardhan Asrani is no more. I don’t even remember which movie was his last, coz he was such a permanent fixture of Bollywood that you were numb to his presence. His voice, his mannerisms were so distinctive yet so consistent, that you were so used to seeing him to the point of…

#MTV shutting it's music channels globally is sad, but inevitable. Sad, because its the end of an era. My generation, Gen X, was also sometimes called the MTV generation. I was obsessed with it when it arrived in India. Inevitable because all eras end, sooner or later.

We remember 97 and 91* but how many of you remember the opening spell of 5-3-6-1? Zaheer Khan is one of India's finest bowlers. Highest wicket taker of WC 2011. Took key wickets. None better than the wicket of Mike Hussey with the knuckle ball in the QF. Wicket of Kamran Akmal in…

Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary

This is how the Chandigarh Manali highway should have been built ,with safety and foresight. Instead they laid it along the river, no proper elevation, and now every monsoon it pays the price.

BJP supporters stopped an ambulance with a pregnant woman in labour pain until a journalist intervened. She was probably stopped in the name of a mother because she is not yet a mother , so what if she does in the ambulance. @narendramodi this is horrifying. #BiharBandh

These same clowns were mocking Chhath Puja and Biharis on the issue of water pollution. Nowhere in the world you will find a race more hypocrite than Indians. And these santras have done more damage to Hindusim than any other force. Should I mock (1/2)

If you watch this video of BJP's Bihar bandh today, you won't know whether to laugh or cry. BJP is basically punishing a whole state because someone abused Modi. "PM ke apmaan ka badla lena hoga", says a BJP karyakarta.

लाखों माताएं अपने बेटे के बिना ही जी रही हैं... इस आस में कि उनका बेटा कम से कम छठ पर तो घर आएगा. वो बेटा सिर्फ उन 4 दिनों के लिए अपने 361 दिन खराब कर रहा होता है. वो अपनी माँ को एक साड़ी दे सके... अपने परिवार के लिए नए कपड़े ले सके वो पंजाब के खेतों या दूसरे राज्यों की…

The Freight Equalisation Policy that was introduced in 1952 was phased out by the 1990s, but the infrastructural and developmental gap created by FEP persisted. It is now widely acknowledged that FEP critically set back Bihar’s industrial and economic trajectory, turning it into…
